For this month's "Maps of the Month" featurette, I wish to draw your attention to Geminiman's Mega Man VII (Super NES) maps.

Mega Man VII is a Mega Man game through and through. Eight Robot Masters whose weapons are obtained to defeat another, Dr. Wily's the final boss, shooting and jumping and platforming action, etc. Not that there's anything wrong with that, and Mega Man games are extremely popular here at VGMaps.com. (Mega Man VII does introduce major character Bass, Wily's creation meant to rival Mega Man, and it is the only Mega Man game on the Super NES (unless you count the X (not "10") series, Mega Man Soccer, and the Japanese-only Mega Man & Bass). So story-wise, it's pivotal, and milestone-wise, it's historical.)

One of the biggest Mega Man fans is Geminiman, if you couldn't guess by his name (though his horoscope sign is Gemini as well). Since those born in June (except for the last ten days) are under the horoscope sign of Gemini, I thought it would be an appropriate month to recognize Geminiman's contributions. Besides Mega Man VII, Geminiman has also worked on Mega Man: The Wily Wars, Mega Man V, Mega Man VI, Mega Man & Bass, Mega Man X and Mega Man X 3. His work on the X series' games was instrumental in the April Fool's joke earlier this year, so he deserves credit for that too.

So to recognize the effort put into making these complete and classic maps, Geminiman's Mega Man VII maps will be known as VGMaps.com's Maps of the Month for June 2006.

It's always great to see more Mega Man maps. I can't wait to see the 3rd, 4th and 5th on Game Boy fully mapped :)
